@Ishaq: Try and report from the open media centre with the Vuvuzelas blowing – most distracting. And that was just for yesterday’s rugby game, Soccer games attract the most Vuvuzelas.

Puzzling to me yesterday was that my wife was not allowed to take water into the stadium and, then after pouring the water out, she was still not allowed to take the plastic bottle in, BUT, people were walking in with great big plastic Vuvuzela’s.

Spain vs Brazil. Spain has Brazil’s joga bonito game but mixes it with their own aggression, whilst Brazil have come out of their joga bonito tag and have recently shown a tougher side to their game, also mixing Euro aggression since they have lots of players making a living in Europe. Spain vs Brazil —- the true WORLD game.

A small correction, the article says; “However, on 8 July 2008, Port Elizabeth withdrew as a host city because its stadium was deemed unlikely to meet the 30 March 2009 deadline for completion”

This statement creates the impression that Port Elizabeth voluntarily withdrew and is incorrect – FIFA and its professional advisers DETERMINED that Port Elizabeth’s stadium would not be ready.

As can be seen from the recent Open Day for the Port Elizabeth Stadium the decision by FIFA and their advisers was incorrect.

@bobmagee – We have winter at present, but not the winter as experienced in the Northern areas with snow, the temperatures do drop to below 10 degrees centigrade in some parts of the country but the sun still shines.

Is it summery weather there or what? because seasons change for every part of the world, right?
